Abstrakt: In order to illustrate the self-assembly capability, we consider a laser imaging experiment on a wet film that is made of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) molecules suspended in a diffusion-limited viscous medium. BR wet film is similar to a wet photograph film but having a finer resolution and adaptive pixel locations due to laser-induced thermal diffusion. The synergism between thermal diffusion of BR molecules (induced externally by a write-laser) and molecular photochromism (generated internally by a read-laser) is exploited naturally for edge-enhanced image applications.
